IMPROVED WINDOW-WASHER.

Specification forming, part of Letters Patent Noi 35,090, dated April 29, 1862.

To all 'whom t 77mg/ concern:

Be it known that I, J oNAs FARNswoRTH, of

Lewiston, in the county of Androscoggin and State of Maine, have invented a new and useful Improvement in lVin d o\v-\Yasl1e1s; and I do hereby declare that the same is fully described in the following specification and aecompanying drawings, letters, figures, and references thereof.

Of the said drawings, Figure] represents a View oli' one side of mywndmwwasher. Fig. i is a View of the opposite side. View of one end. Fig. l represents the window-washer as turned up to show the narrow edge of it. Fig. 5 is a central and longitudinal section of the saine. Fig: (5 is a detached View of the piston.

The nature of my invention consists in the peculiar arrangement and combination of a sponge to moisten the window, a rubber to rub up the dirt, and a syringe to rinse it down, by the use ot' which I am enabled to wash windows, carriages, dac., with the least possible amount of labor and water. One pail of water will do as much as four used in the ordinary way.

A denotes the piston; B, the cylinder; D', the washer-head; E, the sponge; F, the rub- Eig. 31s a l ber. The sponge is held in place by` the j clamp G and screws I-I II. The rubber is held in place by the clamp I and screws J J.

K is the orifice or aperture through which the water is forced. This aperture may conl sist of one or more holes, either round or flat, l and the sponge may be substituted by a l brush, eloth, or other porous substance, and the rubber may be substituted by leather, cork, or other soft pliable substance; or. the rubber may be left off and the washing' may all be done withthe sponge and syringe. Such, Ain tact, would constitute the peculiar essence oli' my invention; but I prefer to use it as above described; therefore `rhat I Claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The combination and arrangement of the piston A, the Cylinder B, the head D, with sponge E, and rubber F, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have hereto set my signature this llth da)7 of March, A. D. 1862.
